The ERC’s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence.
The ERC competitions are also open to leading researchers from outside the EU. Excellence is the only criterion for selection; There are no thematic priorities nor geographical quotas for funding. The goal is to recognize the best ideas and give status and visibility to research.
The grant will be used to develop defense systems that would improve the safety of machine learning systems.
